Indian cricket team in Australia in 2018–19
international cricket tour
The India cricket team toured Australia from November 2018 to January 2019 to play four Tests, three One Day Internationals (ODIs) and three Twenty20 International (T20I) matches. Initially, the Test match at the Adelaide Oval was planned to be a day/night fixture, but the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) declined the offer from Cricket Australia to play the match under lights. In April 2018, the Western Australian Cricket Association confirmed that the Perth Stadium would host its first ever Test match. During the second Test, it became the tenth venue in Australia to host a Test match.
India's regular wicket-keeper for limited overs matches, MS Dhoni, was not named in the side's squad for the T20I fixtures for this series and the ones against the West Indies. Instead, India's Test wicket-keeper, Rishabh Pant, was selected for T20Is as well. The T20I series was drawn 1–1, after the second match finished in a no result. India won the Test series 2–1, after the fourth match of the series finished as a draw. India became the first Asian team to win a Test series in Australia.
In the ODI series that followed, Australia won the first match by 34 runs, recording their 1,000th win in international cricket.
